Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of coal mine fire prevention and extinguishing, and in particular provides a coal mine goaf area fire simulation experimental device and method. Background Art

[0002] While coal production has increased significantly with the continued promotion of fully mechanized caving (Jiangsu) technology, this has also resulted in an increase in the amount of residual coal in goafs, significantly increasing the potential risk of spontaneous combustion from oxidation. In addition to causing coal mine fires, spontaneous combustion in goafs can also easily lead to secondary accidents such as gas explosions and coal dust explosions. Spontaneous combustion of residual coal in goafs seriously endangers the lives of underground miners, causes significant economic losses to the country, and hinders the sustainable development of my country's mining enterprises.

[0003] The complex and ever-changing conditions in goafs, along with the inaccessibility of fire sources, create significant uncertainty in mine firefighting efforts, delaying extinguishing efforts and resulting in significant waste of manpower, material, and financial resources, potentially freezing significant coal resources. Therefore, the coal mining industry urgently needs to research how to study the development of fire sources within goafs, the migration of hot spots, and the spread of smoke, as well as how to detect hot spots within goafs and intelligently visualize spontaneous combustion within goafs.

[0004] At present, many researchers have built goaf simulation experimental platforms of different scales by using similar parameters such as geometric similarity, motion similarity, and dynamic similarity to study the gas and temperature in the goaf. However, there are still some defects: 1. Common goaf simulation platforms are relatively small in size, and most experiments conducted are small-scale tests, which are quite different from the actual goaf environment.

[0005] 2. Common goaf simulation experimental platforms only consider the horizontal state, and do not consider the impact of tilt angle and pitch angle on goaf fire experiments.

[0006] 3. Common goaf simulation experimental platforms can only meet the needs of shallow coal seam goaf flow field research. As the mining depth of coal seams increases, the ground temperature rises, and common simulation platforms can no longer meet the experimental requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a water bath heating and insulation system, which consists of a water bath space, a heating tube and a controller. The water bath space is the area between the goaf trough and the experimental table trough, filled with water, and wrapped around the bottom and surrounding areas of the goaf trough; multiple heating tubes are arranged in the water bath space and connected to the control system. The heating rate, temperature range and power of each heating tube can be individually set on the computer side, which can simulate the geothermal environment of the goaf.

[0012] Furthermore, the goaf temperature simulation system consists of heating rods and a computer control terminal. There are 50 heating rods in total, which are evenly arranged inside the goaf. The heating rate, temperature range and power of each heating rod can be individually set on the computer terminal, which can simulate the oxidation and heat release of residual coal in the high-temperature area of ​​the goaf in the form of a point heat source.

[0013] Furthermore, the distributed temperature acquisition system consists of temperature sensors, temperature compensation lines, temperature acquisition instruments and computer terminals.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The principles and features of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] refer to Figure 1-3 This paper uses a fully mechanized retreating coal face as a prototype and, based on similarity theory, constructs a coal mine goaf fire simulation experimental device. The device model's geometric scale can be customized according to experimental needs. This provides experimental conditions for the development of spontaneous combustion of coal in goafs and confined areas, the migration of harmful gases, disaster simulation and reproduction, and the monitoring of high-temperature spots.

[0023] The present invention provides a coal mine goaf fire simulation experimental device, which is suitable for retreat-type fully-mechanized mining working faces, including a test bench tank body 1, a working face channel 3, an air intake tunnel 5, a return air tunnel 6, a ventilation system, a goaf tank body 9, a water bath heating and insulation system, a goaf temperature simulation system, a distributed temperature acquisition system, a goaf gas environment simulation system and a gas acquisition system; wherein, The experimental table tank body 1 has a retractable hydraulic support 2 at the bottom, which can adjust the inclination and pitch angle of the goaf according to the actual inclination and pitch angle of the working surface; The working face channel 3 is set at the side opening of the experimental table trough 1; the three-dimensional design dimensions of the working face channel 3 are 5×0.2×0.2 m, and the working face support 4 is arranged inside it to simulate the hydraulic support and support beams in the actual working face, so as to ensure the support and stability of the transition between the fully mechanized caving working face and the tunnel.

[0024] The middle of the air intake tunnel 5 is connected to the working face channel 3; one end of the tunnel is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the goaf. In this solution, the goaf is the area where coal and rock are loaded; The return air lane 6 is connected to the working face channel 3 in the middle; one end is connected to the ventilator 7, and the other end is connected to the air in the goaf; The ventilation system consists of a fan 7 and a variable-frequency, three-phase asynchronous motor 8. The platform utilizes exhaust ventilation, connected to the return air duct 6. This allows for wind speed adjustment within a range of 0 to 10 m / s to meet the air supply requirements of different work surfaces. The three-dimensional design dimensions of the inlet and return air ducts 5 and 6 are 1.7 x 0.2 x 0.2 m.

[0025] The goaf trough body 9 is sleeved inside the experimental table trough body 1, and there is a water bath space 13 between the bottom and the four sides of the experimental table trough body 1. The three-dimensional size of the goaf trough body 9 is designed to be 5×10×1.2 m, and the lower 0.2 m will be used to arrange fire bricks 10, so its actual experimental three-dimensional size is 5×10×1 m.

[0026] The mesh isolation structure 11 used to fill the coal and rock areas inside the goaf has a three-dimensional size of 1×0.2×1m, a total of 250, and the mesh size is set to 1 cm. Figure 4 The mesh isolation structure 11 can reduce the difficulty of replacing experimental materials.

[0027] The particle size of coal and rock inside the goaf is determined based on the empirical formula for porosity distribution and permeability distribution in the goaf. The specific contents are as follows: The midpoint of the actual working face top line is taken as the coordinate origin, the direction to the deep part of the goaf is the positive direction of the x-axis, and the direction along the working face to the return air channel is the positive direction of the y-axis. Therefore, the porosity distribution of the goaf can be calculated using the following formula:

[0028] Where: —porosity of the goaf, dimensionless; —Porosity along the working surface, i.e., the x-direction, dimensionless; —Porosity along the depth direction of the working surface, i.e., the y-direction, dimensionless; L—working surface length, m; —The strike distance from a point in the goaf to the working face, m, with a value range of [0, D]; —The coordinate value of a point in the goaf in the y-axis direction, m, with a value range of [-L / 2, L / 2].

[0029] The permeability of porous media depends on the porosity. When the porosity size and distribution of the porous media are constant, the permeability is only related to the porosity of the porous media. The relationship equation between the permeability and porosity of the porous media in the goaf is: (4) Where: is the permeability, m 2 ; is the air dynamic viscosity coefficient, at room temperature =1.834×10 -5 Pa·s; is the porosity of the goaf, dimensionless.

[0030] After the actual porosity and permeability of the goaf are calculated, they are proportionally reduced according to the selected geometric scale to determine the coal and rock particle sizes in each part of the mesh isolation structure 11.

[0031] The goaf cover 12 is used to seal the experimental platform and consists of 50 small covers with a size of 1×1×0.2 m, which is easy to disassemble and install.

[0032] The water bath heating and insulation system is arranged between the goaf trough 9 and the experimental bench trough 1 to simulate the geothermal environment of the goaf; the water bath heating and insulation system specifically includes a water bath space 13, a heating tube 14 and a controller 15. The water bath space 13 is the area between the goaf trough 9 and the experimental bench trough 1, filled with water, and wrapped around the bottom and surrounding areas of the goaf trough 9; multiple heating tubes 14 are arranged in the water bath space 13 and connected to the control system 15. Each heating tube 14 can be individually set with a heating rate, temperature range and power on the computer terminal 15, which can simulate the real geothermal environment of the goaf.

[0033] The three-dimensional dimensions of the water bath space 13 are designed to be 10.4×5.4×1.4 m, covering the surrounding and bottom areas of the goaf trough 9, with a distance of 0.2 m between the two.

[0034] The goaf temperature simulation system includes heating rods 17 and a computer control terminal 15. The heating rods 17 are cylindrical nickel-chromium alloy electric heating rods with a diameter of 0.1m and a length of 0.3m. There are 50 of them, which are evenly arranged inside the goaf. The heating rate, temperature range and power of each heating rod 17 can be individually set on the computer terminal 15, which can simulate the oxidation and heat release of residual coal in the high-temperature area of ​​the goaf.

[0035] The distributed temperature acquisition system is set up in the goaf and has multiple temperature acquisition terminals for measuring the temperature changes in the goaf in different areas. It specifically includes a temperature sensor 18, a temperature compensation line 19, a temperature acquisition instrument 20 and a computer terminal 15. Among them, the temperature sensor 18 uses a high-temperature resistant armored thermocouple. A total of 200 temperature acquisition points are arranged in the goaf to measure the temperature changes in the goaf in different areas.

[0036] The goaf gas environment simulation system includes a gas release pipeline 21 and a gas flow control device; there are 50 gas release pipelines 21, which are evenly arranged at the bottom of the goaf and are used to simulate the release of oxidation gas, tracer gas release, and gas desorption from the goaf; the end of the gas release pipeline 21 in the goaf is wrapped with a filter mesh 22 to prevent the gas pipeline from being blocked by coal gangue; the gas flow control device consists of a high-precision flow meter 25, a touch panel 24, and a gas mixing device 23, which can achieve precise control of the release rates of nine types of gases, including N2, CO, CO2, O2, C2H2, C2H4, C2H6, SF6, and CH4. The touch panel in this solution is an operating interface, which is actually a controller. The controller controls the input of the corresponding gas according to the flow meter data.

[0037] The gas collection system consists of a gas sampling head 35, a sponge 36, a gas sampling pipeline 37, and a multi-gas monitoring terminal 38. There are 50 gas sampling heads 35, which are connected to one end of the gas sampling pipeline 37 and filled with sponge 36. The other end is connected to the multi-gas monitoring terminal 38. They are evenly arranged inside the goaf to realize real-time collection and analysis of gas data in the goaf. Figure 5 , which shows the layout of each pipeline of the experimental platform.

[0038] The entire test bench tank 1 is welded from 4 mm thick white steel plates. All parts are treated for corrosion and feature a sealed internal insulation layer to ensure high-temperature resistance above 1000°C. Each experimental pipeline is connected to the platform through a hollow tube 16 at the bottom of the test bench, penetrating a 0.2 m water bath and 0.2 m fireproof bricks, ensuring that the collection side of each pipeline is located within the goaf.
